"The recording for the vocals for 'Towers of Babylon' went extremely well," Black stated. "Working with Rob, Rick, and [engineer] Sean [Shannon] was great. What could be better for a singer than having your tracks produced by a vocal legend like Rob Rock? Hopefully there will be further collaborations down the line.

"Also appearing on this track is the phenomenal drumming of Richard Christy. Incredible playing. Some of the sickest fills I've heard in a while. The detail in his playing is just mind-blowing.

"This album is shaping up to be huge. Also appearing on the album will beTobias Sammet, Mat Sinner, Mike Terrana, Ferdy Doernberg, and perhaps a few more surprises. I think this CD will end up on a lot of 'best of the year' lists. I have no doubts that once this disc is released, a whole lot of people are going to be marveling at Rick's songwriting and guitar-playing abilities."
